About this service

This program trains police officers and community groups to work together better during protests and community events. The training teaches police to talk openly with protesters, use kindness instead of force, and plan ahead with event organizers. Community members, activists, and police meet regularly to build trust and solve problems together. The goal is to protect people's right to protest while keeping everyone safe. Rev. Dr. F. Willis Johnson leads this six-month training program in Columbus.
